I'm in the market for some type s pistons, but I don't know if my block have type a or type b pistons or a combination of both, so which pistons should I get the type a or type b? Also would eagle rods work with the type s pistons?

 

Basically, you have to take the Head off and look at piston heads to see what # A or B..Then order. But have fun trying to get Mix and match piston heads from sellers. Useually they wont sell them like that.

 

Yes, but instead of opening the head to check, can I just get all four of the same piston, I read a thread where someone said to get all four #b and have the sleve honed, could anyone else confirm this?

 

When I ordered type-s pistons all I told them was that I wanted them oversized (.25mm) and they said ok. About two months later of waiting (after I had already paid) I cancelled the order cause they were taking to freakin long.

why, the type B pistons are smaller. the A ones are bigger.

 

I thought the letters were stamped on the block somewhere? like ABAA

 

I got h22a type-s oversized because A and B types are too close and the dech most likely has uneaven worn sleeves....
